 Review of American Supperealism
Jonathan Veitch's new study is an ambitious attempt to rescue Nathaniel West from misinterpretation if not obscurity.
In the text, Veitch examines West's complete oeuvre—so to speak—for enforcement of his thesis, namely, that social tendencies in America, 1930s vintage of sour grapes, led to nihilism which in turn, serves as “a prerequisite for fascism.” To reinforce his plausible thesis, the author as literary critic creates a straw-man antithesis.
While the adumbration of West's penchant for punning provides some comic relief, Veitch's tendentious—one is tempted to say constipatory—prose does not, especially the bilge on pages 36, 41, 42, and 114.

 Ultimate guide to Nathaniel West: biography, bibliography, reviews, links
Le macchiette umoristiche di West (il presidente nazionalista e visceralmente razzista, il sudista omicida e maniaco, i vari prevaricatori e truffatori) sono macchiette di biechi criminali, in cui si fondono humour e ferocia sadiana.
L'America di West è un piccolo mondo abitato di pochi personaggi le cui vite s'intrecciano di continuo, ciascuno replicando all'infinito la propria parte, come nei romanzi del Settecento.
